Introduction to Computer Science using Java

Bradley Kjell, Central Connecticut State University

This is a course in
Java programming for beginners.
It covers the fundamentals of programming,
roughly the same material that is covered in a beginning programming course
in a university or in a high school AP Computer Science course.

For maximum benefit,
go though these ../Java5/Notes interactively,
thinking about and answering the question at
the bottom of each page.
There are about 20 pages per chapter.
If you spend about 3 minutes per page
each chapter will take about 60 minutes,
or longer if you copy and run some of the programs.
If you are a beginning programmer,
plan on spending more than a month with this.

These Notes assume that you have
a recent version of Java, available
from Oracle, Inc. at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
and a text editor such as Notepad.
Compiling and running programs is done from
the command line interface.
You may use more sophisticated environments, as well.
